When weather is poor, Dominion Care Academy will announce closings and delays through television media using local television stations and their respective websites.  An announcement will also appear on the Academy’s blog and a recorded message will be available on the school director’s cell phone line at 804-301-0667. Dominion Care Academy will generally follow the lead of Henrico County and Richmond City Public schools, as these divisions represent our highest number of students.  However, we will accommodate each locality individually; meaning if one locality is open and all others are closed, we will open for that one locality and provide services for those students.  Students are not required to attend on days when their home school division is closed for weather unless the home school division provides transportation; however, if Dominion Care Academy is open, students may attend if their parent/guardian provides transportation.

When school days are missed due to the weather or any other unforeseen incident, the administration of Dominion Care Academy will determine if make up time is needed.  If the determination is made that instructional hours will need to be made up, Dominion Care Academy will do so in one of the following ways:  Dominion Care Academy will choose to cancel previously arranged non-instructional days, will extend our calendar at the end of the school year, or will extend scheduled half-days to full days.  We will give prior notice as to which corrective measure will work best and the administration of Dominion Care Academy has sole responsibility for determining how, and if, any missed days will be made up.
